it is president obama talking to the senate. he's talking to the senate democratic leader, harry reed, talking to move forward with some sort of smaller package to avert those tax hikes that are set to kick in. and obviously there's going to need to be some buy-in from the senate minority leader, republican mitch mcconnell. so that's where things stand. and president obama is actually hopeful that something could still be pulled off. listen. >> nobody can get 100% of what they want. and this is not simply a contest between parties in terms of who looks good and who doesn't. call me a hopeless optimist. but i actually still think we can get it done. >> reporter: now, of course, if the senate were to pass something and reconvene on december 27th, don, it would also then need to pass the house. but the expectation is that whatever would be worked out in the senate, if it is, would pass the house hopefully not just with republican support, but it would need democratic support, as well. and just to be clear, the thing that president

the thing is, some are asking president obama to step in because what president obama could do, they could invoke a federal law to get everybody to kind of step aside and come to some sort of agreement. so it's going to be interesting to watch because the deadline really is fast approaching. >> can the government do anything? >> reporter: well, if president obama steps in, it could. but this really is a battle between the workers and the union and wages and these bonuses. so we're going to see if president obama steps in. we do know that president obama is coming back from his vacation in hawaii early. who knows? he may address this situation as well. >> alison kosik, thank you very much. there hasn't very much. there hasn't been an east coast port strike since 1977.

president obama in that meeting apparently told them try and work something out. and reid left and made a statement last night, as did mcconnell, that they're going to try and work something out. the best-case scenario is that sometime tomorrow they are able to put it to the senate and then it quos to the house, and then there's a real bill that sounds like a compromise. it's not the grand bargain we were all looking for. it will be some kind of deal to stop going over the cliff. option two is what we're talking about here, that those two can't get a deal and they put something forward and everybody in the senate and subsequently hopefully in the house gets to say yea or no to it. you're on the record. if you go over the cliff, everybody know where is you stood in trying to prevent that from happening. >> do you think the average american, all of us, makes heads or tails -- >> no. >> -- out of what this impact will be on our wallets? >> no. first of all, it's stupid. it's stupid that we're here. there's been nothing that has happened economically that we've been a
